I’ve found with an angle of about 30 degrees or so you can operate the tool easily. Here’s what the tool looks like at rest when it’s on the bolt you are removing the extractor from. I think that is because the extractor plunger engagement rod is closer to the bolt body so there isn’t enough wiggle room to dsconnect. By winding it the way I’ve shown in my experience it doesn’t pop out as easily. ![]() The rod that engages the hole in the extractor plunger on the Derby FAL prototype was wound on the lever arm such that it ran up the right side of the tool closest to the long part of the lever arm and would tend to pop out of the hole in the extractor. The primary differences between the prototype and mine are the orientation of the wire rod that engages the extractor plunger and the length of the lever arm of the device. ![]() Derby Fals’s made the original prototype of this device and this article is how to make the version I settled on. Since writing about detail stripping the FAL upper receiver group, I found a tool originally thought out by one of the members of the FAL files.
